Easier selection / replacement of account names in the Fava editor? #2131

First of all, thank you SO much for Fava (and beancount). The first finance app that has me fighting with my finances, instead of with the app. 😄
Anyway, I have now imported ~25 years of past transaction data from my various previous sources and I find myself editing and modifying account names quite often, which is a bit cumbersome in the Fava editor, because you have to select and delete the account name before you can replace it.

I can imagine a few improvements to make this more efficient:

  • A single click on the account name could select the name completely instead of only partly (which now a double click does). This would include colons and other characters so you can just click once and start typing a new account name and let autosuggest complete your new account name.
  • Perhaps even better, a single click on any account name of a transaction opens the same autosuggest menu already used when typing so you can entirely select with the mouse.

I briefly looked at the Fava source but I could not figure out where this is triggered. Any pointers welcome and I will try to make it work if this would be a welcome feature.

Or alternatively, I am doing it all wrong and there is an even better method than selecting and typing out account names in the Fava editor windows?

Thanks!

Selecting full account names by a single click is maybe a big too magic but selecting the full one would be an improvement, I agree.

The editor is built with https://codemirror.net/, not sure how the mouse selection can be customised, you'd have to look into that.
